(All characters, organizations,

places, and events are fictional.)

(The night of April 20, 2000)

(Abandoned Warehouse in Shimbae City)

I'll let you talk if you

promise to be quiet.

You dare abduct a

high-ranking police officer?

Did Kim Ju Kyeong put you up to this?

No.

Then was it

Mr. Hwang?

Tonight, you will die.

- What?

- That's all I know.

My memories aren't completely intact.

All I know is that, just like me,

you've become the kid's target.

What kid?

The young devil.

- Who are you?

- He's young but evil.

I only cooperated to protect my daughter.

Although, even these

memories will soon be erased.

Let's go. Let me loose

- and we'll find a way.

- Quiet.

He's here.

Don't underestimate him

or you'll die a gruesome death.

What did you do to Sang Ah?

But I did everything you asked.

I'll k*ll you!

There is going to be a party?

Unbelievable

Who are you?

What

Kid. Hey, kid?

Are you all right?

Kid!

Hey, kid. Are you all right?

It was you.

You liar.

You were the one who k*lled

seven people in Shimbae

20 years ago.

No. No.

No! No, that can't be!

You're the Eraser who k*lled

all those people.

Where's your proof?

All the people he loathed

fell victim to the Eraser.

Park Ki Dan,

Oh Yeon Tak,

Jo Sung Dong

No.

You were the one to

identify Yeom Hwa Ran

as the suspect in the DUI hit-and-run case.

Choi Won Yeong and Yeon Mi Ji.

The two psychopaths k*lled a poor girl

whom you grew up with at the orphanage.

(Attached file)

You're lying.

You're the one who ordered Chun Ki Soo

to cover up the incident 20 years ago.

I don't know what you're getting at,

but that's a meaningless detail

considering how you're the m*rder*r.

Who was it?

Who ordered the cover-up

of Moon Yong Dae's death?

Why do you ask?

To add another name

to your list of victims?

I'll just scan your memory myself.

- Freeze!

- Freeze.

- Arrest him.

- Lower your weapons.

We're here to investigate

Deputy Chief Lee's alleged corruption.

He's a k*ller.

- That's enough.

- sh**t him if he makes a move.

Did you really believe

you'd get away with this?

Even though a mistake

was made in the process,

the statute of limitations has expired now.

A mistake?

The m*rder of a young man

was covered up as a suicide!

I've been handling a m*rder*r

through proper procedure.

How dare someone like

you question my conduct?

You foolish girl.

You couldn't see the

m*rder*r in front of you

even with the hint I handed over.

This is your job now.

It's up to you to fill in the blanks.

Actually, I figured it out a long time ago.

The relationship between

Detective Dong and the victims

and how you tried to get rid of him

without making the move yourself.

What I couldn't figure out

was the motive. But now I know.

It was to hide your own crimes.

You kept silent even when

you knew he was the k*ller?

Where's your evidence?

Only Dong Baek's enemies were m*rder*d.

At the very least, Dong Baek

is the Eraser's accomplice.

What about Chun Ki Soo's son

- and the firefighter?

- Them too!

Dong Baek's taking revenge

on what happened in Shimbae 20 years ago.

No, that's only what you want to believe.

You're trying to crush Dong

Baek because he figured you out.

He found out how you covered up

Moon Yong Dae's m*rder

and the incident in Shimbae.

You'll have to at least

k*ll one more person

if you wish to keep your crimes hidden.

(Memorist)

(Ep 11, The Name of The Prophesy)

(Year 2013)

A young man standing trial

has stated that he has telepathic powers.

He is making an outlandish

assertion that he can read memories

simply by touching a person.

During the trial for the as*ault

on Assemblyman Ko Hyun Ah

held at a district court in South Gyeonggi,

the suspect Dong asserted

that he has telepathic powers.

He made an outlandish assertion

that he can read people's memories

simply by touching them.

In a shocking turn of events,

contrary to expectations,

the justice department

appears to believe him,

and has closed the trial from the public.

According to sources,

the NIS had been investigating

the truth behind his telepathic powers

since the onset of the trial.

This series of events

has been interpreted

as accepting Dong's assertion

regarding his telepathic powers,

thus increasing the interest of the public.

It's a warning found

in the firefighter's nose.

"The innocent shall be crucified"

"in place of the sinner."

Dong Baek and Superintendent Han Sun Mi

are digging into a case in which

the firefighter's wife was involved.

The Eraser appears to

have targeted the firefighter

because of his wife, who is a doctor.

Targeting innocent family members.

My son's inside.

Joon Young!

Move my family to a safe house.

Excuse me?

Get the NIS, the Secret Service, everyone,

and evacuate my wife and son immediately.

Yes, sir.

Dong Baek fled last night.

That is all we have on the case.

From this moment forth,

Dong Baek is our prime suspect.

Concentrate all our

forces on arresting him.

We will also locate and monitor

those who may help Dong Baek.

Superintendent Han Sun Mi,

Captain Koo Kyung Tan,

and Officer Oh Se Hoon.

It's bad enough Superintendent

Han was suspended,

- but what? Monitor her?

- This is nonsense.

Dong Baek? The Eraser's

accomplice? You know what he's like.

He loathes murderers with a passion.

- Hey. Am I right or not?

- It's true.

It's understandable to suspect him.

What was that, punk?

Who would instruct you to give us

such an order without any evidence?

If he resists arrest,

you may use any and all necessary force.

Even g*ns?

Sir. Whose order is this?

Even those ignorant prosecutors

can't give an order like that.

Dong Baek is a hothead,

so he'd never come readily,

but you want us to sh**t him?

You know his temper.

This is an order to k*ll.

- Am I right or not?

- You're right.

(Byun Young Soo)

Please show me the evidence.

Hey, you. Young Soo.

Are you defying an order?

It's not defiance. I'm requesting evidence.

The prosecutor's arrest warrant

wasn't a request for cooperation.

Your job is to catch him before

the prosecutors and find evidence.

Don't be a rude punk

and demand evidence, you jerk!

(Media Policy)

(Media's unsubstantiated statements

are harming the police's reputation)

Make the media hostile toward him.

None of the media companies

are favorable to Dong Baek.

Captain.

What's with the rain?

It looks like it'll pass. Did

you find Moon Yong g*ng?

He disappeared without a

trace. What about Chun Ki Soo?

He hid himself well.

What do we do?

I'll do as Superintendent Han said

and stay with Assemblyman Bang.

You keep trying to locate Moon Yong g*ng.

I don't know where to start.

We don't have time. Look at this.

Every news agency is bent on catching Baek.

(Despicable Serial k*ller Suspect

Dong Baek, Did He Fool the Nation?)

This is the agency where Kang Ji Eun works.

No one in media is on Baek's side.

We're the only ones on his

side, so stay on top of your game.

I'm going to meet with Ms. Kang.

For what? She's powerless.

I'll call you.

Se Hoon.

So you're alive.

How did you know I was here?

Sit.

This feels like an interrogation.

Because I'm going to interrogate you.

About what?

The truth about you.

You're interrogating me

from a m*rder*r's desk.

Why? In case I'm the Eraser?

That too.

If I'm really the m*rder*r,

your life is in my hands.

I told you. The moment I die,

this will record everything and

send the file to my colleagues.

Shall we begin?

You'd better be nervous.

You'll get arrested the moment

you say anything suspicious.

How did you know I was here?

Was Jin Jae Gyu really a shaman?

Why do you want to know?

I need to know who he really was

in order to answer your question.

What did you see when

you scanned his memory?

He was definitely psychic.

"Psychic"?

It ran in his family.

(1971, 8-year-old Jin Jae Gyu)

Jin Jae Gyu's mother

was a shaman.

Stop!

But Jin Jae Gyu was a normal

kid. At least until he met

his worst enemy.

Pee on him.

Pil Seon, he's just a kid.

Should I do it myself?

Do you think this is funny?

Your brother in Vietnam

was k*lled by a Vietnamese

soldier two days ago.

- What?

- He died a miserable death.

What did you just say?

You darn little

Yong Sik!

Tell Dad to stop smoking and drinking.

And Mom has weak knees,

so run errands for her

whenever she needs your help.

And I want you to burn my guitar

and bury it in the ground with me.

Yong Sik!

We should go.

Hwang Pil Seon.

You're even worse than your own mother.

You will die a brutal death.

You will face the most pitiful death.

(R 3 - 4671)

Mom!

Mom! Mom!

(For orchards and weeds)

What's wrong with you?

Why

did you come home so late?

Mom, what's wrong?

Jae Gyu, my son.

I hope you become a great person.

Mom!

I cooked

rice for you.

Eat it

before it gets cold.

Mom! Mom!

- The day he turned psychic.

- Mom!

Mom!

That's when his mom died.

Mom!

She drank pesticide?

But why do you care

whether he's psychic or not?

What does that have anything

to do with why you're here?

Jin Jae Gyu's last words.

You will meet again.

He told me we'll meet again.

You will meet Dong Baek

again at the foundation.

The foundation of the m*rder*r.

You came all the way here

because of that?

How many things did he

tell you before he died?

Four.

He told me the Eraser is hidden

deep inside your memory

and that I'll end up

meeting you again here.

And lastly,

he told me to find Cho Won.

- There should be one more.

- It was the strangest one.

He told me

someone came to the church

the night Park Ki Dan got m*rder*d.

And he told me

that was you.

I saw a revelation.

I saw him standing there.

I just ignored what he said.

He was dying, so I thought

he wasn't in his right mind.

But once everything started to

come true, I changed my mind.

If Jin Jae Gyu could

really predict the future,

I figured you really

might've gone to the church.

Did you k*ll Park Ki Dan?

I wanted to.

And I wanted to ask

something before I k*lled him.

I wanted to ask how

it feels to be the victim.

Yes.

He's right. I was there.

I went there to scan his memory.

I was expecting to go to jail.

So I wanted to expose all

his sins to the entire world.

So what happened?

I turned around

in front of the church and went home.

After you went all the way there?

I remembered

the view I saw a long time ago.

The view I saw from the window

every single day after

Cho Won went missing.

That's when I realized

that she wouldn't want me

to m*rder anyone.

Cho Won always wanted

more and more people

to find out about my power.

She thought that would

encourage more people to be kind.

Ko Hyun Ah

was driving back with the

guy she was cheating with.

My gosh.

- What happened?

- What happened?

- What are we going to do?

- Let's put her here.

- Hurry.

- Don't rush me.

My goodness.

Help me.

- I think she's alive.

- Darn it.

Help.

Darn it. Hey, what are you doing?

- What are you doing?

- Move!

No, don't. No!

Hello, I'm Ko Hyun Ah.

I met her

the day after the accident.

If only I had

shaken her hand.

If I shook her hand that day

You exposed your power to the

public to punish those murderers.

How did you know that?

My trial records are

classified as a national secret.

You owe me one.

The NIS?

You have a good hunch. I'll give you that.

You knew everything and

still kept your eyes on me?

So what? Are you going to arrest me now?

No, you're not the type to k*ll anyone.

What I've been doubting

all this time though

was a separate personality.

The evil personality that k*lled

seven people in Shimbae City

20 years ago.

What if that evil personality

became the Eraser

along with the help of an accomplice?

I don't have the energy for jokes.

Every scenario hit a dead end

and the possibility was close to zero.

Unless you used a trick that was

beyond my comprehension, that is.

So?

I trust you.

Actually, it's my judgment I believe.

Is the interrogation over then?

For now.

I guess I should be grateful.

It's why we'll work together

until we find the Eraser.

So all that's left is the

incident at Shimbae.

Someone other than me

was at that warehouse.

Someone taller than 170cm.

When he k*lled seven people that day,

you were there as well.

Mom!

He then went on to k*ll your mother.

You lost your memories and

ended up at Dongbaek Station.

Why was the Eraser called the young devil?

He was probably young.

Moon Yong g*ng was

only 17 at the time as well.

You think Moon Yong g*ng is the Eraser?

The Eraser is an enemy of your family

and he k*lled seven people.

Two months before the incident though,

Moon Yong g*ng's

brother was found m*rder*d.

He k*lled the seven people

to avenge his brother

by becoming the Eraser?

He's at least an accomplice.

How's that?

Because if I were the

Eraser, I wouldn't pass up on

Moon Yong g*ng as a partner.

Just like he used Jin Jae Gyu.

Why did Moon Yong g*ng

inform us of Deputy Chief Lee?

Was it to fool us?

The Eraser is drawing a bigger picture,

but we don't even know

whom he's ultimately after.

His ultimate goal?

The man who incited Lee Shin Woong.

There's an evil force that's

been calling the shots

and you think he's who the

Eraser is ultimately after?

Then we have our

answer. We either go after

Lee Shin Woong or Moon Yong

g*ng, the Eraser's accomplice.

Who first?

You should stay out

of it. This is my job now.

- What?

- You'll only end up dead.

Dr. Ahn and her big mouth.

My health is supposed to be top secret.

The doctor is too much of a worrywart.

Get some rest.

The phone isn't traceable,

so keep it on at all times.

You'll pursue the case without me

You'll only slow me down.

This is my w*r.

One that death can't even stop.

I found a lead.

There's someone helping Moon Yong g*ng.

Who?

Hold on. That phone's being traced.

It's on flight mode.

When did you record this?

- You'll end up dead.

- Mr. Moon.

What seems off?

Please don't k*ll me.

She moved first.

Yes, Ms. Han.

Old man, it's me.

Where on earth did you go?

Ms. Han was worried sick.

Where's Seo Hui Soo?

She's at Bang Joon Seok's residence.

We'll soon be there, so keep

an eye on her. And Se Hoon?

He's not here.

- Why not?

- He's trying to save you.

What do you mean?

Isn't it obvious? He's

trying to be a good partner.

(Despicable Serial k*ller Suspect

Dong Baek, Did He Fool the Nation?)

I see it was published by my agency.

You know it's not true.

I'm sorry.

All I'm asking for is the truth.

Just write about who Dong Baek truly is.

I have nothing to say.

Detective.

- The day I joined the force

- Thank you for the meal!

Enjoy, guys.

It's when I first met Dong Baek.

On days you need extra energy

Here you go.

I got an odd feeling.

- This is amazing.

- Tell me about it.

What kind of feeling?

He seemed lonely.

What about the last one we had?

Salute!

It's an honor to meet you.

May I shake your hand?

Sure.

I'm Officer Oh Se Hoon.

What is he doing?

(Oh Se Hoon)

Gosh.

People called me Nutjob Number Two,

but

I just felt so bad for Baek.

Here. You can have it all.

Really? Thank you so much!

No one would let Baek by their side.

Still, he was loved by countless people.

Do you know why he

thrives on people's attention?

It'd be a lie if I said he never liked it,

but he needed it because

of the criminals' memories.

The criminals?

Because the evil memories

never leave him

once they enter his head.

The victims' pain and agony

are somewhat consolidated

once the culprit is caught.

But that is not the case

for the criminals' memories.

They become more vivid.

What got him through

the t*rture every time

was the people's love and support.

- Hello.

- Gosh, you're here.

- I'm Ji Min's father.

- Oh, right.

Thank you so much.

If it weren't for you, Ji

Min might not have made it.

Ji Min, go ahead and thank him.

- Thank you so much.

- Thank you.

- I made these macarons for you.

- I see.

- Thank you.

- The tears of the ones he saved.

Thank you.

The letters wrote by the bereaved families.

He may seem c*ck and overly confident,

but he fought this battle by

letting his heart get blackened.

I was called by the

disciplinary committee too.

But I honestly couldn't care less.

How can I serve the people when I

can't even protect my own partner?

If Dong Baek is thrown

under the bus in any way,

I'll quit being a cop too.

I'll stay by his side

even if that costs me my badge.

Thank you for your time.

Seo Hui Soo hasn't left

Bang Joon Seok's house yet.

You couldn't find either Chun

Ki Soo or Moon Yong g*ng?

I'll have to look again.

Actually, Metro is probably on it,

so focus on Lee Shin Woong's family first.

His family?

The Eraser has been

targeting the family members

of those involved in the Shimbae case.

He'll go after Deputy

Chief Lee's family too.

What? Why?

He's the one who buried

Moon Yong Dae's m*rder.

- m*rder?

- The seven who died

in the warehouse were

Moon Yong Dae's murderers.

- Are you sure?

- Moon Yong Dae died

just before the seven died.

And there are commonalities

between the incidents.

- Deputy Chief Lee?

- No.

Chun Ki Soo.

Chun Ki Soo bribed a doctor

and made her declare Moon

Yong Dae's death a suicide.

He buried the mass m*rder

in the warehouse as well.

My head's spinning.

But that's not enough to connect him.

The night the seven died,

Deputy Chief Lee was being

held c*ptive in that warehouse.

He was fated to be k*lled by

the Eraser, but he escaped.

Chun Ki Soo was disciplined

for bribery 20 years ago,

but he succeeded quickly

and held high positions in HQ.

Deputy Chief Lee backed him.

They're in this together.

So, seven rich kids k*lled Moon Yong Dae,

and Deputy Chief Lee

had Chun Ki Soo cover it up.

Moon Yong g*ng, his

brother, found out the truth,

and k*lled all seven kids

who k*lled his brother. But

that rage hasn't subsided

even 20 years later,

so he became the Eraser

and is harassing Deputy Chief

Lee's and Chun Ki Soo's families.

Even if Moon Yong g*ng is not

the Eraser, he's working with him.

Why do you want to meet Seo Hui Soo?

We should catch Moon Yong g*ng.

- It's a shortcut to catch him.

- A shortcut?

Take Se Hoon and go to

Deputy Chief Lee's home.

He'll show up near his family for sure.

Okay, yes, sir. Work hard.

Where's Moon Yong g*ng?

How would I

What are you doing? Put down the knife.

You moved first.

You stepped toward the stairs

first, so that he could escape.

You're dating, aren't you?

No, we're not.

He used you.

He did not.

He's not like that.

Never.

It was to commit m*rder.

You know something.

What is it?

Moon Yong g*ng is attacking

people to k*ll for his revenge.

This is our only chance to stop him.

Where is he hiding?

We don't have time.

The resort.

The resort?

I beg you. Please save Yong g*ng.

I'm begging you.

Wait.

Put men behind like last time.

They're Intelligence.

- Intelligence?

- Lee Shin Woong's stooge.

He's the one who took the photos

when I assaulted Choi Poong Won.

To get rid of you.

He knew Moon Yong g*ng was hiding here.

No.

Moon Yong g*ng isn't here to hide.

He's here to k*ll his next target.

- What's the boundary situation?

- We blocked the entire floor.

- And the security office?

- Four men are guarding it.

2 Intelligence agents

and 2 security guards.

Double it.

Block external access

to the security cameras.

- It may be hacked.

- Yes, sir.

Get off your phone.

Dad. I'm getting cabin fever.

What's going on?

Just a minute.

(Restricted Number)

Hello?

The Eraser will target your family.

What?

You're next since you bribed Chun Ki Soo.

Did Baek say that? That he'll k*ll me next?

You should work with us if

you want to protect your family.

Sun Mi. You don't get it yet, do you?

What the yardstick is for measuring

how properly a person has lived.

It's the depth of power they can

get to help protect their people.

I will protect my family.

Sir.

The Eraser will come here.

He's the Eraser, so who?

I see. His accomplice.

Cuff him and lock him up next door.

We'll interrogate him

along with Moon Yong g*ng.

- Yes, sir.

- You'll regret it.

The lights.

What's going on out there?

We're checking now.

What's going on?

- He's here.

- He's quicker than I expected.

He prepared gas.

"Gas"?

It's what doctors use for surgery.

Sleeping gas.

Don't scan him!

Baek.

Baek.

Baek.

Baek.

Are you awake?

What? What happened?

What do you think? I'll

end up getting fired for this.

Captain Koo brought you guys here.

Hey! Stop!

Hey!

What?

- You lost them?

- Sorry, sir. I woke up too late.

What about Moon Yong g*ng?

He's fine. The guys

took him to the hospital.

I want everyone on

standby to work on this case.

And tell the guys at the

hospital to come back.

Okay, sir.

Let's start by interrogating

Moon Yong g*ng.

Got it, sir.

They're not on the same side?

No, let's reinforce security first.

This is a trick.

We need to go back. Get in the car. Hurry!

You should leave now.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Sir?

Don't move.

Where are you?

- Moon Yong g*ng was bait.

- What?

The Eraser is going to k*ll your son!

No!

Romeo got injured. Don't let

anyone in or out of the building.

The moment anyone sees the

suspect, sh**t him without hesitation.

- There will be no limits.

- Baek.

Use whatever violence you can to

capture Dong Baek and the suspect.

Will

Will our son be okay?

My goodness. Oh, gosh.

He's still getting surgery,

but the doctor says he'll live.

Fortunately, he missed the vital point.

"Fortunately"?

He nailed 20 nails on my son's body.

You think that's fortunate?

If my son dies,

you'll die as well.

I swear on my life

that I'll catch him no matter what.

The culprit is someone else.

The guys who k*lled Moon Yong Dae.

There were more than seven.

There were eight guys in total.

Bang Joon Seok.

We finally solved the puzzle.

Ji Eun, what are you doing here?

Are you deaf?

What's wrong with a reporter

coming to the news department?

I'm no longer going to take

unreasonable orders from you.

What are you talking about?

The country is in a mess.

I can't believe this.

- What's going on?

- This is crazy.

Is it the Eraser again?

Is this for real?

- I can't believe this is happening.

- It's absurd.

My goodness.

Please wait here for a moment.

Eun Soo Kyung, former

congressman Bang Joon Seok's wife,

has been kidnapped by

an unidentified assailant.

The kidnapper sent us a

photo of Eun Soo Kyung

holding a message that

seemed like a forewarning.

Reporter Gong Cheon Mi will

be reporting to us exclusively.

Please.

I'm six months pregnant.

I don't care if I die.

But please don't hurt my baby.

Detective Dong.

Please save my daughter, Soo Kyung.

Please. Please.

(Jeon Woo Jung)

My daughter did nothing wrong.

- I know you can save her.

- Ma'am, please get up.

I know you can save my daughter.

My daughter

is a fan of yours.

You have no idea how fond she is of you.

She wants nothing but the best for you.

So, please

Please save my daughter and Cho Won.

Who?

- Cho Won?

- We should go.

Cho Won

It's the name of my

daughter's unborn child.

You must find her.

Must find

Cho Won

Please save my daughter.

Please save my daughter, Detective Dong.

- Please save my daughter.

- We should leave.

- Ma'am, please.

- My daughter

Please save my daughter!

It wasn't him.

- What?

- The root of all evil.

It wasn't Bang Joon Seok.

- What are you saying?

- The one that connects everything.

The k*ller who had Moon
